DSDT patch requests

mikey1953 replied to oldnapalm's topic in DSDT & Patch Requests

hello Maldon. A little over a year ago you helped me with a dsdt for my hackintosh. I just upgraded my gfx card from an ATI HD5770 to an RX 480 and I need help editing the dsdt for the new card. Everything seems ok OTB but I would like to make sure. I want to get HDMI audio working too, and all 5 of the ports. I'm still on 10.12.6 but now that I have the RX 480 and Metal support I will install High Sierra soon. I also made a beer donation and included a screenshot in the sendme folder. Thanks again for your help and have a great day! Send me T3600.zip
